Do include guards properly about vscode-cpp-helper HOT 4 CLOSED

@jdlugosz
Hello.

I need more information to understand what issue is.
I'm confused now.
Please describe with code samples and your suggestion about it.

from vscode-cpp-helper.

Names containing two consecutive underscores, or beginning with an underscore followed by a capital letter, are reserved for use by the implementation.

In short, it is exactly wrong to imitate the guards you see in the standard library files.

Your sample animation shows the example of __TEST_H__ which is a reserved name. For all you know, some standard header defines a macro by that name for its own use, or worse.

You can change default config to remove underscores from header guards like this.

"CppHelper.HeaderGuardPattern": "{FILE}_H"

or

"CppHelper.HeaderGuardPattern": "GUARD_{FILE}_H"

from vscode-cpp-helper.

But the default shouldn't use reserved names.
